WHAT IT MEANS: Technology runs the planet, with computers and electronics playing an essential role in many types of technologies. It is truly a digital world, and those who understand this world can become valuable additions to technology-focused employers. "Advances in technology and knowledge generation over the next few years will radically transform the very nature of how we grow our economy and how we compete," claimed Phillip J. Bond, Under Secretary of Commerce for Technology, in January 2002.
Many fields use electronics and computer technology skills. These fields include, among others, aviation, communications, computers, consumer products, research and development, and defense.
WHAT IT MEANS TO YOU: According to a 2001/2002 U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics report, eight of the ten fastest-growing occupations through the year 2010 will be in technology fields.
If you like to take things apart just so you can see how they work, you could be the kind of student who would feel at home studying computer and electronics technology at ITT Technical Institute.
